Special information:

Have a neighbor, family member, yourself or friend who has a student that will be turning five by September 1, 2025, that they are considering entering kindergarten at a BPS101 elementary school for the 2025-2026 school year?  Batavia Public School District 101 strongly encourages families of incoming kindergarten students to begin the enrollment process. We are looking for as many registrations entered before we leave for Spring Break. Visit our website to register: bps101.net/kindergarten or on Facebook.  Knowing how many new students we will be receiving early greatly assists in determining the number of sections we will require.

A note from the LRC:

Ozzie’s Reading Challenge challenges students in Grades K-5 to read 60 minutes a week, over the course of eight weeks, for a total of 480 minutes.  That’s only 12 minutes a day!  All students who complete the challenge will receive a free ticket to a ball game on May 8 at 6:30 pm and May 18 at 1 pm along with a hot dog, drink and t-shirt. Information and reading logos were sent home with students.
